We stayed at ocean palms for independence celebration. The room was clean and roomy. The breakfast was adequate. My only complaint would be that the advertised wifi was so slow as to be nonexistent. Overall, we had a good experience and would stay again.

Ask Jacque F about Ocean Palms Motel

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

We decided to spend one night in Pismo Beach before exploring the Big Sur area and we selected this motel, mostly based on price. The motel is located two blocks from the ocean, in a few minutes one can reach the beaches and the pier. On top of that, there are plenty of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Our room was basic, maybe looked a bit old but nothing was missing and everything worked. The motel offers breakfast included in the rate but it is very poor. I would recommend this motel based on location and price.

A friend and I got a good deal for our two queen bed room ($84 ex. tax for a night). We stayed in a first floor room, which was very quite and clean with comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. We first planned to stay in one of the motels closer to the beach, but that wasn't necessary because the ocean is only a five minute walk away. And after a day at the beach, the (very clean) pool was a nice place to play cards and hang out before going to a restaurant in town, wich is less than 10 minutes walking distance from the motel. All this, plus the very friendly owner made this the best budget motel out of the +/- ten we've stayed in during our trip in California. The Ocean Palms is nothing too fancy of course, but from our other experiences in motels in this price range it doesn't get much better. If I get the same deal, I'll definitely come back to this place the next time I go to Pismo Beach.

If you want a bath you will have to sit on the plug as it is designed not to stay down! Otherwise a very comfortable stay in a first floor room. The pool looked good but had only attracted a solitary duck during our stay. Breakfast was pastries and microwaveable breakfast bagels. Located just off the Interstate and very close to the beach area.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

We stayed there on our way from LA to SF and it was just what you hope for: a clean room, clean bedding with plenty of pillows, clean bathroom with new granite and relatively quiet even though it sits by the highway ramp. The breakfast (coffee, cereals, muffins) works great if you're on the go and the waffle maker was a huge hit for the kids. Overall, a great deal for your money. We'll recommend this place and will stay there again.

Room Tip: I would ask for the tucked in rooms where the window/ door is as far removed from the highway as pos...
